Wheel Size??

[Adz_4]

Hi All,

Im just curious to know what size wheels people have on what size teardrop?

My teardrop is (when finished) 8' Long x 4' High x 4' Wide and I have just ordered a pair of wheels which are 8" x 6.5" Wide (see below).



Cheers,

Adam

not sure about that side of the ocean, but, if your gonna run 8's--its best to have those wide ones like that....my stepdad has a little small boat trailer that came with 8's and had a couple of blow outs back to back...replaced with those wide ones, and has never had a problem since...

Hi Adam,
I've used 13" wheels on both builds, and plan to use similar for the current build, but I have built on caravan chassis, and thats the size they come with.

I think the bed bugs have the same wheels as the ones you've ordered.

I think they're similar to Clives (UK Corlett) wheels


I think he has some scuffing problems with his, but it was down to the mounting plate of the suspension units;

I plan on using 15" wheels.

I have 15" tires on an 5x10 trailer (and 20" on the TV ) . My tear also weighs more than the average teardrop.

My trailer is 4'x6' with a 2' tall box and rooftop tent. I plan on using 4.80-12 wheels/tires on my trailer.

If you are going to go wide on small wheels just make sure you can source/fabricate a compatible set of fenders/mudguards. I got 10" mini wolfrace wheels 6" wide. The problem I had was once I had added 1" to clear the frame I needed a minimum of 7" width to fit a 10" radius tyre which in the UK isn't that easy to find.
